Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 21

First let us show the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\) by coloring two of the three equal parts on a strip.

You have learnt to add and to subtract fractions with common denominators. Here, we have to add the fraction \(\frac{1}{6}\) to the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\).

Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 21 8 So let us divide each part on this strip into two equal parts. \(\frac{4}{6}\) is a fraction equivalent to \(\frac{2}{3}\). Now, as 16 is to be added to \(\frac{2}{3}\) i.e. to \(\frac{4}{6}\), we shall colour one more of the six parts on the strip. Now, the total coloured part is \(\frac{5}{6}\).

That is, Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 21 2

Example (2) Add : \(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}\)
Here, the smallest common multiple of the two denominators is 10. So, we shall change the denominator of both fractions to 10.
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 21 3

Example (3) Add : \(\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{16}\)
Here, 16 is twice 8. So, we shall change the denominator of both fractions to 16.

Example (4) Subtract : \(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{8}\)
Let us make 8 the common denominator of the given fractions.
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 21 5

Example (5) Subtract : \(\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{3}\)
The smallest common multiple of the denominators is 15. So, we shall change the denominator of both fractions to 15.
